Wang Dong'er Becomes a Roommate, Xuan Zi Brings Something Good

"You cheated! Did you use a soul skill just now?!"

Wang Dong panted heavily, her pinkish-blue eyes fixed fiercely on Su Ling as she gritted her teeth.

Her father had once told her that the Clear Sky Hammer was the number one tool martial soul in the world. Even without Soul Rings added, it was unbeatable among those of the same rank!

If Su Ling had not secretly used a soul skill just now, how could he possibly have blocked her full-force strike?

Not to mention knocking her Clear Sky Hammer away afterward!

Hearing her accusation, Su Ling shrugged and spread his hands. "What if I was simply born strong? Besides, my Soul Rings never even lit up. How could I have used a soul skill?"

As he spoke, his gaze turned somewhat scrutinizing as he asked suspiciously, "Don't tell me... you're refusing to admit defeat?"

"Who, who's refusing to admit defeat?!"

Wang Dong bit her lower lip and turned her head away resentfully.

She had just replayed the details of their exchange in her mind. From beginning to end, no Soul Rings had appeared on Su Ling's body.

She had wronged him.

Seeing the tips of Wang Dong's ears turn red, Su Ling stepped forward and extended his hand with a smile.

Wang Dong looked at his sharply defined handsome face from up close, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She instinctively placed her hand in his and let him gently pull her up.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao walked over. The corners of his lips curled upward, and there was a hint of triumph in the way he looked at Wang Dong.

"What are you looking at, idiot?!"

Still sulking, Wang Dong rolled her eyes.

"Hmph! You're already Brother Su Ling's defeated opponent, yet you're still acting so smug!" Huo Yuhao refused to back down and immediately shot back.

Having Brother Su Ling backing him up felt great!

"...You!"

Wang Dong puffed out her cheeks. She simply ignored him and turned to Su Ling, folding her arms across her chest. "A bet was a bet. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Su Ling pretended to ponder as he looked her up and down.

A moment later, under Wang Dong's nervous gaze, he chuckled. "Those conditions you mentioned earlier were pretty interesting. From now on, you'll move in with me. You'll handle the dorm chores, including but not limited to serving me tea and pouring my water."

Sorry, Yuhao. Wang Dong'er is a trap, bait set by the Tang God King. The Sea God's methods run too deep—you can't handle them.

Leave it to Big Brother. Big Brother can handle it...

Seeing the amused expression on Su Ling's face,

Wang Dong froze, completely dumbfounded.

Well, well. The boomerang she had thrown had come flying right back at her!

She was the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect!

The daughter of a God King!

How could she wash his clothes, make his bed, serve him tea and water, and become some little maid attending to him?!

"...Fine." Wang Dong pursed her lips and answered softly. She glanced quickly at Su Ling before immediately lowering her head again.

Anyway, he was so handsome. Living in the same dorm as him did not seem so bad, did it?

As for serving him,

That was only a delaying tactic! She had her own plan!

Once she figured out Su Ling's background and weaknesses, then cultivated diligently and defeated him, the tables would turn...

Hehe~

[Wang Dong'er's Favorability +6. Received 60 Strategy Points.]

"Why are you grinning like an idiot? Brother Su Ling has already gone far ahead."

Seeing Wang Dong smiling rather foolishly, Huo Yuhao looked suspicious, muttering to himself.

Could this guy have been beaten stupid by Brother Su Ling?

"None of your business!" Wang Dong came back to her senses and glared at him before turning to chase after Su Ling's retreating figure.

"You!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth in anger.

He had kindly reminded her, yet she had actually given him attitude!

She really was an utterly detestable person!

The three of them left Shrek Academy and entered the city.

Passersby kept looking their way.

The three each had distinctly different temperaments, drawing countless glances.

Su Ling was already used to it. Wang Dong paid no attention to the passersby, while Huo Yuhao, who followed behind them, appeared somewhat restrained.

The three arrived in the southern part of the city and found a bustling breakfast shop.

The shop was famous for its signature crab roe soup dumplings, and its owner was a tall purple-haired young woman.

Before long, three plates of soup dumplings were brought to their table.

Su Ling picked one up. Its skin was very thin, faintly revealing the golden crab roe inside. With one bite, the dough was soft and chewy, while the rich freshness of the crab roe burst across his mouth.

He finished it off with a sip of fragrant milk to soothe his throat.

There was a reason the place was so popular.

"Yuhao, go settle the bill with the owner."

A Gold Soul Coin popped out from Su Ling's Sumeru Ring and landed steadily in Huo Yuhao's hand.

"Oh, okay." Huo Yuhao held the gleaming gold coin and rose to pay the bill.

Wang Dong's gaze fell on the Sumeru Ring on Su Ling's index finger. Curious, she asked, "Is that a storage Soul Tool?"

"Something like that. Why?"

"Nothing. Just asking."

She secretly memorized the ring's appearance. Later, she would have Second Dad make her an identical one.

Huo Yuhao returned after paying, clutching a handful of Silver Soul Coins. He handed them to Su Ling. "Brother Su Ling, here. This is the change the owner gave back."

"Keep it."

Su Ling pulled out a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth before getting up to leave. Wang Dong followed close behind.

Warmth filled Huo Yuhao's heart. He clenched the silver coins in his hand and hurried after them.

After returning to the Freshman Dormitory, Wang Dong moved her belongings from Dormitory 108 to Su Ling's place.

Seeing that the dorm had quieted down, Huo Yuhao focused wholeheartedly on cultivating.

The Soul Power assessment would take place in three months. If he wanted to remain at Shrek, to remain by Brother Su Ling's side, he had to break through to Level 15 as soon as possible!

Dormitory 106.

Wang Dong had just put her things away when she looked around.

"Wow! You even have a bathroom here?!"

She walked inside excitedly and looked around.

There was a washing machine, a washstand, and a private bathroom. Everything looked practically brand-new!

She suddenly felt that moving in with Su Ling was not fulfilling a bet at all. She was the one getting a huge bargain!

Wang Dong then looked toward the balcony on the other side. Just as she was about to go take a look, she suddenly caught sight of Su Ling sitting cross-legged on the large bed.

"Wait! Why is there only one bed here?"

Seeing Wang Dong's stunned expression, Su Ling gave a rare, awkward smile.

He had only just remembered that there was only one bed in his room.

The academy had arranged Dormitory 106 for him, and it seemed to be a luxurious single room. Its total area was even larger than Huo Yuhao's room.

Not only was it fully equipped, but it even had a balcony and a private bathroom.

One should know that every floor of the entire Freshman Dormitory building was divided into east, west, south, and north sections, with each side containing four or five dorm rooms that shared one bathroom. (The original work seemed to have four hundred people fighting over one bathroom. Tian Luo changed it to one bathroom for every five dorms so as not to ruin the reading experience.)

"Ahem... See those unused cabinets over there? That's your bed."

Su Ling pointed to the four tall cabinets in the corner. Put together, they were just the size of a bed.

"Fine, fine, you're really something! Sure!"

Wang Dong shot Su Ling a resentful glare, then rolled up her sleeves and began assembling her bed and making it.

Half an hour passed.

Wang Dong had already made the bed. She had intended to clean up a little, only to find the entire dorm spotless.

It was as though someone had carefully tidied it up.

"I didn't expect him to be so clean."

Sunlight slanted into the dorm, tiny specks of dust drifting through the beam as the whole room was steeped in warm hues.

Su Ling sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His sword-like brows trembled faintly, his lips forming a calm line as the glow outlined him in soft contours.

Wang Dong sat at the edge of her bed with her cheek resting in her hand, watching him. The warm light made her cheeks burn...

[Wang Dong'er's Favorability +5. Received 50 Strategy Points.]

[SS-Class Goddess—Wang Dong'er's current Favorability has reached 20. Would the host like to bind her?]

Su Ling's meditation was interrupted by the system notification.

At that moment.

A sudden knock sounded outside the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Brat Su, open the door! This old man has brought you something good!"
